1. Tedarrell Slaton, OG, American Heritage

As mentioned before. the Gators have shown an obvious commitment to winning in the trenches and constructing a program that can win in the SEC consistently. They want to play great defense, and they want to dominate along both the offensive and defensive front. They’ll need to find an offensive line coach although some believe they already have. We’ll soon see if that’s an accurate assumption.

Former offensive line coach Mike Summers left earlier this year to join the Louisville Cardinals. Regardless of who they bring in, he’ll have some building blocks. They appear to be set to add another one with offensive guard Tedarrell Slaton from American Heritage in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Slaton stands at a little over 6-foot-4 and weighs 360 pounds. 247Sports.com sees him as a four-star athlete. They have him ranked as the 69th-best player in the country, the second-best player at his position and the 12th-best player in the state of Florida.

The Florida Gators are currently his top choice. He’s also shown interest in the Clemson Tigers, the Miami Hurricanes and the Michigan Wolverines among others.
